Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024
For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized net income of $15.4 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to net income of $12.1 million, or $0.09 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The higher net income in the current quarter was due primarily to lower income tax expense compared to the prior quarter due mainly to income tax expense associated with the pre-1988 bad debt recapture during the prior quarter. There was no similar tax expense in the current quarter. See additional discussion regarding the pre-1988 bad debt recapture in the "Income Tax Expense" section below. The net interest margin increased six basis points, from 1.80% for the prior quarter to 1.86% for the current quarter due mainly to growth in the higher yielding commercial loan portfolio.

The increase in interest income on loans receivable was due mainly to an increase in the average balance of the commercial loan portfolio, along with an increase in the weighted average yield on the overall loan portfolio. See additional discussion regarding the composition of the loan portfolio in the "Financial Condition as of December 31, 2024" section below. The increase in interest income on MBS was due to an increase in average balance primarily a result of purchases made early during the current quarter using excess cash. The decrease in interest income on cash and cash equivalents was due mainly to a decrease in the average balance as excess operating cash was used to fund MBS purchases and commercial loan activities and to pay semi-annual escrow payments for customers during the current quarter. The decrease in interest income on investment securities was due primarily to a decrease in the average balance as a result of certain called securities not being replaced in their entirety.

The decrease in interest expense on deposits was due to a decrease in the weighted average rate on money market accounts, retail certificates of deposit and checking accounts, which was almost entirely offset by an increase in the weighted average rate on savings accounts due to growth in the Bank's high yield savings account. The decrease in borrowings expense was due primarily to the maturity of a $50.0 million advance late during the prior quarter that was not renewed, as well as to a reduction in borrowings outstanding during the current quarter as a result of principal payments made on the Bank's amortizing advances.
Provision for Credit Losses
For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the Bank recorded a provision for credit losses of $677 thousand, compared to a provision release of $637 thousand for the prior quarter. The provision in the current quarter was comprised of a $2.0 million increase in the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") for loans, partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in the reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures. The increase in ACL was due mainly to commercial loan growth during the current quarter. The decrease in the reserves for off-balance sheet credit exposures was due primarily to a decrease in the balance of commercial off-balance sheet credit exposures between quarters due mainly to the funding of commercial commitments during the current quarter.

The increase in salaries and employee benefits was due primarily to the accrual of incentive compensation during the current quarter related to the Bank's short-term performance plan. The prior quarter included a reduction in incentive compensation due to the Company's financial results for fiscal year 2024 being lower than projected. The decrease in regulatory and outside services was due primarily to the timing of audit and other outside services. More services were provided during the prior quarter compared to the current quarter. The decrease in advertising and promotional expense was due mainly to the timing of campaigns and sponsorships compared to the prior quarter. Overall, management is expecting a 4.0% increase in non-interest expenses for fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024.
The Company's efficiency ratio was 57.86% for the current quarter compared to 59.29% for the prior quarter. The improvement in the efficiency ratio was due to higher net interest income during the current quarter. The efficiency ratio is a measure of a financial institution's total non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net interest income (pre-provision for credit losses) and non-interest income. A lower value generally indicates that it is costing the financial institution less money to generate revenue.

Income tax expense was higher in the prior quarter due primarily to recording $2.0 million of federal income tax expense associated with the Bank's pre-1988 bad debt recapture, along with higher state income tax expense mainly related to the tax treatment of the bad debt recapture. The income tax expense associated with the pre-1988 bad debt recapture negatively impacted earnings by $0.02 per share in the prior quarter.
The income tax on the earnings distribution from the Bank to the Company during the prior quarter was due to the recapture of a portion of the Bank's bad debt reserves which were established prior to September 30, 1988, and are included in the Bank's retained earnings ("pre-1988 bad debt reserves"). A taxable net loss was reported on the Company's September 30, 2024 federal tax return due to the net losses associated with the securities strategy (defined in the "Securities Strategy to Improve Earnings" section below), which resulted in the Bank and Company having a negative current and accumulated earnings and profit tax position. This requires the Bank to draw upon the pre-1988 bad debt reserves for any distributions from the Bank to the Company and to pay taxes on the reduction to the pre-1988 bad debt reserves at the current corporate tax rate as of time of such distribution ("pre-1988 bad debt recapture"). It is the intention of management and the Board of Directors to not make distributions from the Bank to the Company during fiscal year 2025 to limit the tax associated with the pre-1988 bad debt recapture. It is currently anticipated that the Bank will have sufficient taxable income during fiscal year 2025 to replenish the Bank's tax accumulated earnings and profits to a positive level allowing the Bank to make earnings distributions to the Company during fiscal year 2026 and not have those distributions subject to the pre-1988 bad debt recapture tax.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
The Company recognized net income of $15.4 million, or $0.12 per share, for the current quarter, compared to net income of $2.5 million, or $0.02 per share, for the prior year quarter. The lower net income in the prior year quarter was primarily a result of the impairment loss on the securities associated with the securities strategy. See additional discussion regarding the securities strategy in the "Securities Strategy to Improve Earnings" section below. The securities associated with the securities strategy were sold in the prior year quarter, and in that quarter the Company incurred $13.3 million ($10.0 million net of tax) of net losses related to the sale of those securities. Excluding the effects of the net loss associated with the securities strategy, earnings per share would have been $0.10 for the prior year quarter. The increase in earnings per share excluding the effects of the net loss associated with the securities strategy was due primarily to higher net interest income in the current quarter.
The net interest margin increased 15 basis points, from 1.71% for the prior year quarter to 1.86% for the current quarter. The increase was due mainly to higher yields on loans and securities, which outpaced the increase in the cost of deposits, largely in retail certificates of deposit, along with the continued shift of loan balances from the one- to four-family loan portfolio to the higher yielding commercial loan portfolio.
Securities Strategy to Improve Earnings
In October 2023, the Company initiated a securities strategy (the "securities strategy") by selling $1.30 billion of securities, representing 94% of its securities portfolio. Since the Company did not have the intent to hold the $1.30 billion of securities to maturity at September 30, 2023, the Company recognized an impairment loss on those securities of $192.6 million which was reflected in the Company's financial statements for the quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. The securities strategy allowed the Company to improve its earnings stream going forward, beginning in the quarter ended December 31, 2023, by redeploying most of the proceeds into then current market rate securities and to provide liquidity to deleverage the balance sheet utilizing the remaining proceeds. During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company completed the sale of securities and recognized $13.3 million ($10.0 million net of tax), or $0.08 per share, of additional loss related to the sale of the securities. See additional information regarding the impact of the securities strategy on our financial measurements in "Average Balance Sheets" below. The $1.30 billion of securities sold had a weighted average yield of 1.22% and an average duration of 3.6 years. With the proceeds from the sale of the securities, the Company purchased $632.0 million of securities yielding 5.75%, paid down $500.0 million of borrowings with a weighted average cost of 4.70%, and held the remaining cash at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City ("FRB") earning interest at the reserve balance rate until such time as it could be used to fund commercial activity or for other Bank operations.

The increase in interest income on loans receivable was due largely to an increase in the weighted average yield, along with an increase in the average balance of the portfolio primarily as a result of growth in the commercial loan portfolio as the loan portfolio mix continued to shift from one- to four-family loans to commercial loans. The increase in the weighted average yield was due primarily to originations at higher market rates between periods, as well as disbursements on commercial real estate and commercial construction loans at rates higher than the overall portfolio rate. The increase in interest income on MBS securities was due mainly to an increase in the average balance of the portfolio, along with an increase in the weighted average yield compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in the average balance was due mainly to securities purchases between periods. The higher weighted average yield was due mainly to the securities strategy, as the securities that were sold during the prior year quarter were reinvested into higher yielding securities, and due to additional securities purchases between periods at higher yields than the prior year quarter. Interest income on cash and cash equivalents decreased due largely to a decrease in the average balance of cash and cash equivalents, as a result of cash balances being drawn down during the prior fiscal year to fund loans and other operational needs. The decrease in interest income on investment securities was due primarily to a decrease in average balance, partially offset by an increase in the weighted average yield, both due to the securities strategy. Additionally, the investment securities purchased with the proceeds from the securities strategy were invested into shorter term securities which were largely called or matured during fiscal year 2024.

The increase in interest expense on deposits was due primarily to an increase in the weighted average rate paid on deposits, specifically retail certificates of deposit and savings accounts, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average rate paid on money market accounts. To a lesser extent, the average balance of retail certificates of deposit also increased interest expense on deposits.
The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was due to a decrease in the average balance, which was partially offset by higher interest rates on the borrowings that were replaced during fiscal year 2024. The decrease in the average balance of borrowings was due to a decrease in borrowings under the Federal Reserve's Bank Term Funding Program ("BTFP"), which were repaid during the prior year quarter using some of the proceeds resulting from the securities strategy, along with some FHLB borrowings that matured between periods and were not replaced.
Provision for Credit Losses
The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $677 thousand during the current quarter, compared to a provision for credit losses of $123 thousand for the prior year quarter. See "Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024" above for additional information regarding the provision for credit losses during the current quarter.

The net loss from securities transactions in the prior year quarter related to the securities strategy. The increase in other non-interest income was due mainly to a net loss on financial derivatives related to a lending relationship in the prior year quarter, largely driven by changes in market interest rates. The financial derivatives related to the lending relationship matured during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 so there was no such activity in the current quarter.

The increase in salaries and employee benefits was mainly attributable to salary adjustments between periods to remain market competitive. The decrease in information technology and related expense was due mainly to lower third-party project management expenses due to the Bank's digital transformation project during the prior year quarter, along with lower software licensing expenses. The decrease in regulatory and outside services was due to the prior year quarter including expenses related to the digital transformation project, along with a reduction in rates and usage related to certain outside services. The decrease in the federal insurance premium was due primarily to a decrease in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") assessment rate as a result of the way the assessment rate was adjusted in fiscal year 2024 for the occurrence of the Bank's net loss during the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in advertising and promotional expense was due mainly to the timing of campaigns and sponsorships compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in other non-interest expense was due mainly to the maturity of an interest rate swap agreement during the current quarter which reduced the expense associated with the collateral held in relation to the interest rate swap and due to decreases in other miscellaneous expenses.
The Company's efficiency ratio was 57.86% for the current quarter compared to 92.86% for the prior year quarter. Excluding the net losses from the securities strategy, the efficiency ratio would have been 64.73% for the prior year quarter. The improvement in the efficiency ratio, excluding the net losses from the securities strategy, was due primarily to higher net interest income and lower non-interest expense in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.

In the prior year quarter, absent the income tax benefit associated with the net loss on the securities strategy, the effective tax rate would have been 18.0% and income tax expense would have been $2.8 million. Income tax expense was higher in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, excluding the income tax benefit associated with the net losses on the securities strategy, due to higher pretax income in the current quarter, along with a slightly higher effective tax rate in the current quarter.

Loans receivable, net increased $46.2 million during the current quarter. The loan portfolio mix continued to shift from one- to four-family loans to commercial loans during the current quarter, with $137.5 million in commercial loan growth, partially offset by a $90.8 million decrease in one- to four-family loans due primarily to decreases of $48.7 million and $34.1 million in one- to four-family correspondent loans and one- to four-family originated loans, respectively.
As a result of continued high interest rates and lack of housing inventory which has reduced housing market transactions, our single-family origination activity has slowed which directly impacts the Bank's one- to four-family loan portfolio. Origination and refinance activity has slowed considerably, and there has been a reduction in one- to four-family loan balances through scheduled repayments and loan payoffs. Additionally, the Bank suspended its one- to four-family correspondent lending channels during fiscal year 2024 for the foreseeable future. Management expects the Bank's one- to four-family originated loan portfolio will continue to decrease as the affordability of housing remains challenging and there is limited supply of homes for sale. Cash flows generated from the one- to four-family portfolio are currently being used to fund commercial loan growth.
Deposits increased $76.1 million during the current quarter, primarily in retail savings accounts due to the Bank's high-yield savings account offering and retail checking accounts, partially offset by a decrease in retail certificates of deposit. Management has continued to focus on retaining and growing deposits through its high-yield savings account which had an annual percentage yield of 4.30% for balances over $10 thousand as of December 31, 2024. The high-yield savings account balance was $171.7 million as of December 31, 2024 compared to $96.2 million and $520 thousand as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Borrowings decreased $15.8 million during the current quarter due to principal payments made on the Bank's amortizing advances. Management estimates that the Bank had $2.91 billion in additional liquidity available at December 31, 2024 based on the Bank's blanket collateral agreement with FHLB and unencumbered securities.
The following table summarizes loan originations and purchases, deposit activity, and borrowing activity, along with certain related weighted average rates, during the periods indicated. The borrowings presented in the table have original contractual terms of one year or longer.

Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' equity totaled $1.03 billion at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $5.3 million from September 30, 2024 due primarily to a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, partially offset by a decrease in accumulated deficit. The decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, was due to a decrease in unrealized gains on AFS securities as a result of an increase in market interest rates during the current quarter.
Consistent with our goal to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, we actively seek to maintain a well-capitalized status for the Bank in accordance with regulatory standards. As of December 31, 2024, the Bank's capital ratios exceeded the well-capitalized requirements and the Bank exceeded internal policy thresholds for sensitivity to changes in interest rates. As of December 31, 2024, the Bank's community bank leverage ratio was 9.4%.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the Company paid regular quarterly cash dividends totaling $11.1 million, or $0.085 per share. On January 28, 2025 the Company announced a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.085 per share, or approximately $11.1 million, payable on February 21, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 7, 2025.
At December 31, 2024, Capitol Federal Financial, Inc., at the holding company level, had $39.1 million in cash on deposit at the Bank. For fiscal year 2025, it is the intention of the Company's Board of Directors to pay out the regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.085 per share, totaling $0.34 per share for the year. To the extent that earnings in fiscal year 2025 exceed $0.34 per share, the Board of Directors will consider the payment of additional dividends. Dividend payments depend upon a number of factors, including the Company's financial condition and results of operations, regulatory capital requirements, regulatory limitations on the Bank's ability to make capital distributions to the Company, the Bank's taxable current earnings and accumulated earnings and profits, and the amount of cash at the holding company level.
The Company currently has $75.0 million authorized for repurchase under an existing stock repurchase plan. The FRB's current approval for the Company to repurchase shares up to the $75.0 million authorization expires in February 2025, and an application for extension is in process. Shares may be repurchased from time to time based upon market conditions, available liquidity and other factors. There were no share repurchases during the current quarter.

Average Balance Sheets
The following table presents the average balances of our assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity, and the related annualized weighted average yields and rates on our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated, as well as selected performance ratios and other information for the periods shown. Weighted average yields are derived by dividing annualized income by the average balance of the related assets, and weighted average rates are derived by dividing annualized expense by the average balance of the related liabilities, for the periods shown. Average outstanding balances are derived from average daily balances. The weighted average yields and rates include amortization of fees, costs, premiums and discounts, which are considered adjustments to yields/rates. Weighted average yields on tax-exempt securities are not calculated on a fully taxable equivalent basis.

Balances are adjusted for unearned loan fees and deferred costs. Loans that are 90 or more days delinquent are included in the loans receivable average balance with a yield of zero percent. |
|
(2) |
AFS securities are adjusted for unamortized purchase premiums or discounts. |
|
(3) |
There were no nontaxable securities included in the average balance of investment securities for the quarters ended December 31, 2024 or September 30, 2024. The average balance of investment securities includes an average balance of nontaxable securities of $201 thousand for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. |
|
(4) |
Net interest income represents the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends on the average balance of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the interest rates earned or paid on them. |
|
(5) |
Net interest margin represents annualized net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Management believes the net interest margin is important to investors as it is a profitability measure for financial institutions. |
|
(6) |
Return on average assets represents annualized net income as a percentage of total average assets. Management believes that the return on average assets is important to investors as it shows the Company's profitability in relation to the Company's average assets. |
|
(7) |
Return on average equity represents annualized net income as a percentage of total average equity. Management believes that the return on average equity is important to investors as it shows the Company's profitability in relation to the Company's average equity. |
|
(8) |
The operating expense ratio represents annualized non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets. Management believes the operating expense ratio is important to investors as it provides insight into how efficiently the Company is managing its expenses in relation to its assets. It is a financial measurement ratio that does not take into consideration changes in interest rates. |
|
(9) |
The efficiency ratio represents non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net interest income (pre-provision for credit losses) and non-interest income. Management believes the efficiency ratio is important to investors as it is a measure of a financial institution's total non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net interest income (pre-provision for credit losses) and non-interest income. A higher value generally indicates that it is costing the financial institution more money to generate revenue, related to its net interest margin and non-interest income. |
|
(10) |
The table below provides a reconciliation between performance measures presented in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the same performance measures excluding the impact of the net loss on the securities transactions associated with the securities strategy, which are not presented in accordance with GAAP. The securities strategy was non-recurring in nature; therefore management believes it is meaningful to investors to present certain financial measures excluding the securities strategy to better evaluate the Company's core operations. See information regarding the securities strategy in "Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 - Securities Strategy". |

Loan Activity: The following table summarizes activity in the loan portfolio, along with weighted average rates where applicable, for the periods indicated, excluding changes in ACL, deferred loan fees/discounts, and premiums/deferred costs. Loans that were paid off as a result of refinances are included in repayments. Loan endorsements are not included in the activity in the following table because a new loan is not generated at the time of the endorsement. The endorsed balance and rate are included in the ending loan portfolio balance and rate. Commercial loan renewals are not included in the activity presented in the following table unless new funds are disbursed at the time of renewal. The renewal balance and rate are included in the ending loan portfolio balance and rate. During the current quarter, the one- to four-family loan portfolio decreased as expected, while the commercial portfolio grew by 36.5% on an annualized basis. Management does not expect that rate of commercial loan growth to continue, but does expect continued growth during the current fiscal year.

One- to Four-Family Loans: The following table presents, for our portfolio of one- to four-family loans, the amount, percent of total, weighted average rate, weighted average credit score, weighted average loan-to-value ("LTV") ratio, and average balance per loan as of December 31, 2024. Credit scores were updated in September 2024 from a nationally recognized consumer rating agency. The LTV ratios were based on the current loan balance and either the lesser of the purchase price or original appraisal, or the most recent Bank appraisal, if available. In most cases, the most recent appraisal was obtained at the time of origination.

The following table presents the Bank's commercial real estate and commercial construction loans by unpaid principal balance, aggregated by type of primary collateral and state, along with weighted average LTV and weighted average debt service coverage ratio ("DSCR") as of December 31, 2024. The LTV is calculated using the gross loan amount (composed of unpaid principal and undisbursed amounts) as of December 31, 2024 and the most current collateral value available, which is most often the value at origination/purchase. For existing real estate, the "as is" value is used. If the property is to be constructed, the "as completed" value of the collateral is utilized. The DSCR is calculated based on historical borrower performance, or projected borrower performance for newly formed entities with no performance history. The DSCR is calculated at the time of origination, and is updated at the time of subsequent loan renewals or reviews of borrower financials. The DSCR presented in the table below is based on the DSCR at the time of origination unless an updated DSCR has been calculated.

Asset Quality
The following tables present loans 30 to 89 days delinquent, non-performing loans, and other real estate owned ("OREO") as of the dates indicated. The amounts in the table represent the unpaid principal balance of the loans less related charge-offs, if any. Of the loans 30 to 89 days delinquent at December 31, 2024, approximately 81% were 59 days or less delinquent. Nonaccrual loans are loans that are 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure and other loans required to be reported as nonaccrual pursuant to accounting and/or regulatory reporting requirements and/or internal policies, even if the loans are current. Non-performing assets include nonaccrual loans and OREO. The increase in 30-89 day delinquent commercial real estate loans as of December 31, 2024 was due primarily to a $15.5 million Community Reinvestment Act loan. The borrower is in the process of obtaining tax credit funding which will service the loan until the project is stabilized. The tax credit funding is anticipated to be received by the borrower during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Includes loans required to be reported as nonaccrual pursuant to internal policies even if the loans are current. |
|
(2) |
Real estate-related consumer loans where we also hold the first mortgage are included in the one- to four-family category as the underlying collateral is one- to four-family property. |
|
The following table presents the amortized cost of loans classified as special mention or substandard at the dates presented. Included in the commercial real estate substandard loans at December 31, 2024 is a participation loan for $39.1 million related to a hotel in Texas. The property is taking longer than projected to stabilize and the borrower is not meeting the debt service coverage loan covenant required by the loan agreement. The LTV on this loan was 47.5% as of December 31, 2024. As the hotel continues to increase occupancy and interest rates decrease on this adjustable-rate loan, it is expected that cash flows from the operations of the hotel will improve sufficiently to allow the debt service coverage to be sufficient to meet the debt service coverage ratio covenant within the loan agreement without additional support. The loan was not delinquent as of December 31, 2024.

Allowance for Credit Losses: The Bank is utilizing a discounted cash flow approach for estimating expected credit losses for pooled loans and loan commitments. Management applied qualitative factors at December 31, 2024 to account for large dollar commercial loan concentrations and potential risk of loss in market value for newer one- to four-family loans. These qualitative factors were applied to account for credit risks not fully reflected in the discounted cash flow model.
The distribution of our ACL and the ratio of ACL to loans receivable, by loan type, at the dates indicated is summarized below. The increase in the ratio of the ACL to total loans as of December 31, 2024 from September 30, 2024 was primarily the result of commercial loan growth during the quarter. The ratio of ACL to loans receivable has been generally consistent over the past two quarters and given the economic outlook at December 31, 2024, management expects it to remain relatively consistent through the remainder of this fiscal year.

Management applied a qualitative factor for large dollar commercial loan concentrations. The Company's commercial real estate and construction loans generally have low LTVs and strong DSCRs which serve as indicators that losses in the commercial real estate and construction loan portfolios might be unlikely; however, because there is uncertainty surrounding the nature, timing and amount of expected losses, management believes that in the event of a realized loss within the large dollar commercial loan pools, the magnitude of such a loss is likely to be significant. The large dollar commercial loan concentration qualitative factor addresses the risk associated with a large dollar relationship deteriorating due to a loss event. As part of its analysis, management considered external data including historical loss information for the industry and commercial real estate price index trending information from a variety of reputable sources to help determine the amount of this qualitative factor.
For one- to four-family loans, management believes there is potential risk of loss in market value in an economic downturn related to, in particular, newer originations where property values have not experienced price appreciation like more seasoned loans in our portfolio and applied a qualitative factor to account for this risk. To determine the appropriate amount of the one- to four-family loan qualitative factor as of December 31, 2024, management considered external historical home price index trending information, along with the Bank's recent origination/purchase activity, historical loan loss experience and portfolio balance trending, the one- to four-family loan portfolio composition with regard to loan size, and management's knowledge of the Bank's loan portfolio and the one- to four-family lending industry.
The Bank's commercial real estate ACL ratios, in aggregate, continue to be higher than those of our peers. The following tables present the average and median commercial real estate ACL ratios for the Bank and two of the Bank's peer groups for the periods noted. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") peer group consists of all savings banks greater than $1 billion in assets and the asset size peer group consists of all banks between $5 billion and $15 billion in asset size. The peer group information is sourced from the respective peers' Call Reports.

Historically, the Bank has maintained very low delinquency ratios and net charge-off rates. Over the past two years, the Bank's highest ratio of commercial loans 90 days or more delinquent to total commercial loans at a quarter end was 0.17%. The highest such ratio for one- to four-family originated and correspondent loans, combined, was 0.12%. The amount of total net recoveries during the current quarter was $7 thousand. During the 10-year period ended December 31, 2024, the Bank recognized $1.2 million of total net charge-offs. As of December 31, 2024, the ACL balance was $25.0 million and the reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures totaled $4.7 million. Management believes that this level of ACL and reserves is adequate for the risk characteristics in our loan portfolio.
The following table presents ACL activity and related ratios at the dates and for the periods indicated.

The balance of the reserves for off-balance sheet credit exposures was $4.7 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $6.0 million at September 30, 2024. The decrease from the previous quarter of $1.3 million was due primarily to a decrease in the balance of commercial real estate off-balance sheet credit exposures, mainly related to commitments that were funded during the current quarter.
Securities Portfolio
The following table presents the distribution of our securities portfolio, at amortized cost, at December 31, 2024. Overall, fixed-rate securities comprised 95% of our securities portfolio at December 31, 2024. The weighted average life ("WAL") is the estimated remaining maturity (in years) after three-month historical prepayment speeds and projected call option assumptions have been applied. Weighted average yields on tax-exempt securities are not calculated on a fully tax-equivalent basis.

Deposit Portfolio
The following table presents the amount, weighted average rate, and percent of total for the components of our deposit portfolio at the dates presented. The decrease in the deposit portfolio rate at December 31, 2024 compared to September 30, 2024 was due mainly to lower rates on retail certificates of deposit and retail money market accounts.

The effective rate includes the impact of interest rate swaps and the amortization of deferred prepayment penalties resulting from FHLB advances previously prepaid. |
|
The following table presents borrowing activity for the period shown. The borrowings presented in the table have original contractual terms of one year or longer or are tied to interest rate swaps with original contractual terms of one year or longer. Line of credit borrowings and finance leases are excluded from the table. The effective rate is shown as a weighted average and includes the impact of interest rate swaps and the amortization of deferred prepayment penalties resulting from FHLB advances previously prepaid. The weighted average maturity ("WAM") is the remaining weighted average contractual term in years. The beginning and ending WAMs represent the remaining maturity as of the first and last days of the period presented.

Average Rates and Lives
At December 31, 2024, the gap between the Bank's amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities projected to reprice within one year was $(1.58) billion, or (16.6)% of total assets, compared to $(1.51) billion, or (15.8)% of total assets, at September 30, 2024. The change in the one-year gap amount was due to an increase in the amount of projected liability cash flows coming due in one year, as of December 31, 2024, partially offset by an increase in the amount of projected asset cash flows during the same time period, as compared to September 30, 2024. The increase in liability cash flows was due primarily to a net increase in non-maturity deposits between periods. The increase in projected asset cash flows was due primarily to an increase in the balance of adjustable-rate loans, partially offset by a decrease in the balance of cash and a decrease in the projected amount of fixed-rate mortgage-related asset cash flows due to a decrease in projected prepayment speeds from September 30, 2024, as a result of an increase in intermediate and long-term interest and mortgage rates.
The amount of interest-bearing liabilities expected to reprice in a given period is not typically significantly impacted by changes in interest rates because the Bank's borrowings and certificate of deposit portfolios have contractual maturities and generally cannot be terminated early without a prepayment penalty. If interest rates were to increase 200 basis points, as of December 31, 2024, the Bank's one-year gap would have been projected to be $(1.75) billion, or (18.4)% of total assets. If interest rates were to decrease 200 basis points, as of December 31, 2024, the Bank's one-year gap would have been projected to be $(1.17) billion, or (12.3)% of total assets. The changes in the gap amounts compared to when there is no change in rates was due to changes in the anticipated net cash flows primarily as a result of projected prepayments on mortgage-related assets in each rate environment. In higher rate environments, prepayments on mortgage-related assets are projected to be lower, and in lower rate environments, prepayments are projected to be higher. This compares to a projected one-year gap of $(1.71) billion, or (17.9)% of total assets, if interest rates were to have increased 200 basis points as of September 30, 2024, and a projected one-year gap of $(1.19) billion, or (12.5)% of total assets, if interest rates were to have decreased 200 basis points as of the same date.
The following table presents the weighted average yields/rates and WALs (in years), after applying prepayment, call assumptions, and decay rates for our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as of December 31, 2024. Yields presented for interest-earning assets include the amortization of fees, costs, premiums and discounts, which are considered adjustments to the yield. The interest rate presented for term borrowings is the effective rate, which includes the impact of interest rate swaps and the amortization of deferred prepayment penalties resulting from FHLB advances previously prepaid. The WAL presented for term borrowings includes the effect of interest rate swaps.
